Most of our perfume bottles use a 15 mm crimp neck (FEA 15), which fits standard crimp pumps and collars; screw-neck versions are also available. We can supply bottle, pump, collar and cap as a tested set, and send samples so you can check fit and spray before mass production.

We are a sourcing and export company based in Qixian, Shanxi, the center of China’s hand-blown glassware industry. We work with a network of vetted local factories and match each product to the factory best suited for it, then manage samples, production follow-up, quality inspection and shipping for you.

Mainly in Qixian County, Jinzhong, Shanxi Province, which produces more than 60% of China’s hand-blown glassware and exports over 70% of its output to 80+ countries (Xinhua, 2026). Some machine-made and borosilicate lines come from other Shanxi factories.

Yes. Logos by decal, screen printing, sandblasting, etching or laser engraving; any Pantone color by spray coating or solid colored glass; gold/platinum rims; and custom gift boxes, color boxes, PVC boxes or export cartons with your barcode.

We inspect at three stages: raw glass and first articles, in-line during production, and pre-shipment (AQL 2.5 / 4.0 by default). We check dimensions, capacity, bubbles, stones, cords, thickness, decoration and packing. Photos and videos are sent before shipping. Third-party inspection (SGS, BV, Intertek) is welcome.

Our soda-lime, borosilicate and crystal glass ranges are lead-free. We can arrange food-contact testing to FDA, LFGB or EU 1935/2004 requirements, and dishwasher or thermal-shock tests, through accredited labs.

Standard terms are 30% deposit by T/T and 70% before shipment (against copy of B/L for established customers). L/C at sight and PayPal for samples are also accepted.

Each piece is wrapped or separated by paper dividers, packed in inner boxes, then in 5-ply export cartons that pass drop tests. Fragile items can be palletized. Breakage within agreed tolerance is compensated or replaced in the next order.

We quote EXW, FOB Tianjin/Qingdao, CIF/CFR or DDP to many countries. Sea freight is most common for full or LCL loads; air and express for urgent or small orders.
